‘She said, “Please,Mama, don’t pick me up in jeans or sweatpants”’ Nicole Kidman is an open book when it comes to her love for her husband Keith Urban. But when asked about her four children – Bella, Connor, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret – she’s always been determined to keep mum. For years there have been rumours about the two children she adopted with ex-husband Tom Cruise, following their decision to stay with their dad in the wake of her bitter split from Tom in 2001. There have also been ongoing reports the actress doesn’t see Bella or Connor, who have dedicated themselves to Scientology, the controversial religion for which their dad is the celeb poster boy. Nicole, 50, has done nothing to quell speculation by remaining close-lipped about their…

It comes as mates say he’s worried Bindi’s getting cold feet…

THE INGREDIENT... Sulphate “Sulphate cleansers include ingredients such as sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) or ammonium lauryl sulphate (ALS), which can be very harsh and strong,” says Annabelle. “They work by stripping oil and dirt from skin and hair, however, along with excess oil, sulphate ingredients can also strip your skin, hair and scalp of natural oils, causing dryness and irritation.” THE INGREDIENT... Phthalate Phthalates are found in everything from plastic products to haircare, soap and lotions. “They’re chemicals added to the artificial fragrance in beauty products to make it last longer and anchor the scent,” says Annabelle. It’s thought that phthalates are similar to endocrine disrupters, which can interfere with women’s hormones. THE INGREDIENT... Silicone “Silicone creates a film-like barrier, stopping nourishing ingredients from reaching the hair and penetrating the…

Fitness trackers are today’s hottest accessory, with 18 per cent of Aussies sporting an Apple Watch, Jawbone or Fitbit, and many more tracking their steps with a smartphone. They started out as posh pedometers but now log movement and speed, heart rate, calories, sleep and even tell you when you’re stressed. However, research has shown the genius gadgets aren’t for everyone, particularly people suffering from anxiety or eating disorders. Follow these tips to make the most of your fitness tracker without taking it to extremes. DO Treat your tracker as a motivator. People become significantly more active in their daily life when wearing a tracker, increasing activity levels by 30 per cent. DO Monitor your sleep. Your whole body suffers without adequate rest, so use it to keep track of…

Home to more Seven Kingdoms locations than anywhere else in the world, Northern Ireland is a must-visit for fans. Winterfell is Castle Ward in County Down and, just like the Stark ancestral home, the house has been in the same family since the 16th century. Visitors can try on GOT costumes, feast on a medieval banquet and try their hand at archery in the same spot as Jon Snow (pictured). At the Dark Hedges – an avenue of 200-year-old beech trees – you’ll see part of the Kingsroad where young Arya fled the Lannisters. On the craggy, windswept Antrim Plateau, you can relive the moment Sansa learns from Littlefinger that she is betrothed to Ramsay Bolton. At pristine Downhill Beach you’ll see Mussenden Temple, where Stannis Baratheon rejects the old…

How Swede it is I had the privilege to work for IKEA for nearly 10 years and I have never seen their name spelled correctly. It should always be in capitals, as IKEA stands for its founder and the farm and town where he grew up: Ingvar Kamprad, Elmtaryd, Agunnaryd. Thanks for a great magazine – I have been reading for 45 years!

MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA Sunday-Thursday, 7.30pm, Ten DIANA CHAN “Just like former contestants Justine Schofield and Elena Duggan, she wrings powerful flavours out of anything. Her spectacular list of fans includes Curtis Stone, Heston Blumenthal and Yotam Ottolenghi.” KARLIE VERKERK “Early favourites like Karlie often wane about halfway through the competition but she’s just got stronger. She’s as capable of knocking up a gnarly street-food dish as she is of playing it elegant, as with that stunning “apple pie” she put up in the Mount Fuji challenge in Japan.” BEN UNGERMANN “Ben is one of the few contestants who has developed his own distinctive plating style. He’s also one of the most hard-working and most improved contestants left standing. He reminds me of Brent Owens, the last bloke to win the trophy,…

I have to put the milk in before I pour tea . And I like it from a pot, not a tea bag. I can really tell the difference if the milk goes in after the water.

‘It’s the question on everybody’s lips. I would love to have more children’ They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and that certainly seems the case for Kate Ritchie and her husband Stuart Webb, after the couple were spotted in a romantic embrace at Sydney airport last week. Kate, 38, and her two-year-old daughter Mae were returning from a mother-daughter trip to Fiji when hubby Stuart surprised them at the airport. Clearly over the moon to see his two favourite girls, the doting father and chivalrous husband was quick to plant a kiss on Kate’s lips before whisking the two weary travellers back home. Such a public display of affection is rare for Stuart and Kate, who have been plagued by rumours of a split for the better part…

The Family In the early 1960s, yoga teacher Anne Hamilton-Byrne charmed Melbourne-based parapsychologist Raynor Johnson into believing she was a spiritual being who could see into the future. Over the next 30 years, together with her husband Bill, the two accumulated 500 followers and formed Australia’s most notorious apocalyptic cult: The Family. Based on a mixture of religions and with the aim of designing a master race, Hamilton-Byrne thought she could educate the world after Armageddon. The cult attracted doctors, professors, lawyers and some of the wealthiest and most powerful members of Melbourne’s elite. Caught in a web of her wicked lies, members handed over their children to be raised in her “school” in Central Victoria’s Lake Eildon. And for almost two decades, the 28 helpless children who were given…

Rearranging your home could be the key to bolstering your bank account, according to Feng Shui Australia Director Mina R Zheng. Follow her simple tips to maximise harmony and prosperity in your house and watch the money flow in! ENTRANCE “This is one of the most important factors in feng shui, as it represents opportunities,” reveals Mina. “The entrance should not face the back door or window directly, as it means positive energy, which attracts wealth, flows in and straight out. If this is the case in your home, then add a partition or curtain in-between.” BATHROOM The bathroom is crucial. “Cover all the drain holes to ensure negative energy cannot flow in from underground,” advises Mina. “If your bathroom is full of negative energy, it can affect your health…

IS BEN’S GIRLFRIEND PREGNANT?! Ben Affleck recently unveiled his relationship with TV producer Lindsay Shookus… and Woman’s Day has been told the reason they’ve decided to go public is because 37-year-old Lindsay is pregnant! It also explains reports that she’s already living in Ben’s LA home. Ben’s ex Jennifer Garner, 45, is said to be devastated by the news. “Ben told her they’d just had their first doctor’s appointment and he wanted to tell her as soon as possible, so she wouldn’t find out from someone else,” says a source close to the actress. “He admitted the pregnancy came as a shock to him, too, and said it wasn’t planned.” Last week, Lindsay and Ben, who was married to Jen for 10 years and shares three children with her, were…

‘He would end up resenting her if he turned down the role out of guilt’ It’s news she’s longed for – a baby is on the way for Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux. But Jen’s happiness has turned to heartbreak because rather than the news bringing them together, it turns out Justin is set to be farther away than ever! According to friends close to the couple, the actor is seriously considering taking a film role in New Zealand, which will see him spend eight months away from their Beverly Hills home. Not only will this mean he’ll miss the joy of watching his wife’s pregnancy progress, he may also miss the birth of his firstborn, due to arrive just prior to Jen’s 49th birthday next February. “Jen’s been a…

‘They just don’t like to talk about their relationship’ She was born 11 years before the first of her known siblings, but it’s like Jennifer Lazenby doesn’t exist! Her famous dad, Aussie actor George Lazenby – who followed Sean Connery as the second person to star as James Bond in the famed film series – has only ever referenced her existence by saying, “I have family in Perth.” Even when the 77-year-old cinema spy spent time in WA in May this year to launch his documentary Becoming Bond, not once did he mention his eldest daughter. Jennifer, a 55-year-old dance school owner, was proudly by her father’s side as the cameras flashed on opening night, but nobody guessed who she was. “They just don’t like to talk about their relationship…

Editorial and social media manager CHANEL BROW PROBLEM “I have naturally sparse brows.” SOLUTION “Chanel has the perfect-width brows, but they’re sparse and thin towards the tail, so I wanted to fill and shape them without removing density,” says Benefit’s national brow artist Hannah Terrett. HOW TO A caramel tint was applied over both arches to connect the fair hairs with the darker ones. A thin line of hair was removed on top and underneath, from the arch to the tail line. To build extra volume into the ends, Benefit Gimme Brow Volumizing Eyebrow Gel $39 was applied. News editor BELINDA PROBLEM “I have one arch higher than the other.” SOLUTION “Since Belinda has different-shaped arches and several gaps, my goal was to lower one arch and thicken them,” explains…

“Cryotherapy is popular with athletes to help recover, but it’s now also being touted as a way to slim down, rejuvenate skin and alleviate pain. The premise is that the cold temperature increases blood flow to the internal organs and prompts a flooding of the red blood cells with oxygen, nutrients and enzymes. Sounds good! I must admit I was a little freaked out that a fine nitrogen mist – at -140°C! – was about to be sprayed all over my body. However, while I did feel quite chilly, it was nothing I couldn’t handle. Stripped down to my underwear, I was given warm boots and gloves to protect my hands and feet so I felt kind of cosy. I was feeling sore from barre class, but after a cryo…

Australia’s newest heartthrob says, contrary to reports, he’s ecstatic about finding love during his second stint on reality television… Did you have doubts about returning to the show? Initially I didn’t jump at the opportunity because one of the cons of being The Bachelor is having a relationship that’s in the public eye and the pressure it can put on the relationship. At the same time I knew that there was a great chance of meeting someone incredible by doing it. I’m so happy I said yes! Was it difficult being on the other side? I definitely felt a lot of responsibility coming in to this. The things I didn’t enjoy and found really difficult were the rose ceremonies and saying goodbye to girls. It’s a double-edge sword because I’ve…
